From Ingredient Concerns to Scientific Confidence
As sunscreen becomes an integral part of daily skincare and beauty routines, consumer priorities are evolving. The focus is shifting from simply pursuing higher SPF to seeking ingredient safety, sensory experience, regulatory compliance, and scientific validation. Today, trust is emerging as a new competitive advantage in sun care.
At the forum, Claire Cai, Technical Marketing Manager at Aegis, delivered a presentation titled From Ingredient Concerns to Scientific Confidence: Redefining the Value of Ingredients in the Era of Safe Skincare. Drawing on market trends, international standards, and technical practices, she shared Aegis’s perspectives on the future of safe skincare.

She noted that safe skincare is evolving from a point of brand differentiation into an industry-wide priority. As consumers place increasing emphasis on product safety and transparency, ingredient suppliers must go beyond delivering high-performance ingredients. They also need to support brands through scientific evaluation, consistent quality management, and continuous innovation, enabling the development of products that balance safety with performance.

To address growing market demand for safety, performance, and regulatory compliance, Aegis continues to expand its portfolio of sunscreen ingredient solutions:
